Default Help getting 4.5" lift kit

Ok I found a lift kit on Craigslist for around 200 for EVERYTHING. I want to know what all do I need to get so I dont have driving issues? I was thinking 32's as well for tires. I dont want to regear but I do want to get to 60 MPH.

Right now I got the leafs/Coils/Lower Control arms. What else do I need or try to get from this guy to have a good solid lift. I dont plan to do any major offroading. But some. Transfer case drop? Brake line extensions?

He has a HD Tie Rod and an HD Trac bar? Do I need these?

Ok I got the full lift kit as on rustys website with the full packs for $325. Now Is there anything else I will need besides this?

He wants 300 for all of that so I would still need to get..

T case drop/Shocks/Brake line extensions/Sway bar drop kit/Ubolts/Shims.

Is this a good deal? Its the full leaf packs.

I bought it. Now I just need the other things.

What else should I be looking at? What size of tires are good for stock gears? 31 or 32 maybe 33?

That depends on what gears you have now, if its a 4.0 with an auto trans most likely you have 3'55s so 31's would be good but 33's would be pushing it a bit for a DD...TJ
